How Do I Make Cd-r's Like Hard Drives?

[AR8]

Where do I get it? I remember getting the setup, but, I deleted it, coz I had InCD, but, I don't use that anymore. dg_mortal gave it to me once.... so, does anyone know where to get it? Or, does anyone know the full name of the program?

Be a little more clear....exactly what are you looking for....try searching on download.com for what you want and then download a crack for it. Go to websites to get the cracks but we're not allowed to post the sites, serials, cracks, or any of that so no one post any of that.

i have incd, i think it came with my coppy of nero bundled with my cd-rw drive

as far as i know it has nothing no do with making cdrs like a hard drive, you use it to format cdrws, so you can add and remove stuff from them like you would do on a floppy disk

i don't know if this helps you much but that's all i know

[AR8]

I mean, you know how InCD formats CD-RWs... well, isn't there a program that does the same to CD-R's?

[Livy]

incd should do the same for cdrs but u just cannot delete stuff

[AR8]

Ok, then, how do I do it to CD-Rs? Coz, for CD-RWs, the thing just pops up and asks to format.

[AR8]

Dang... nobody knows? <_<

I may be wrong, but I don&#39;t think CD-Rs can, or need to, be formatted. I&#39;ve never had to format a CD-R, anyway.

Dang... nobody knows? <_< [/quote]i posted a hash for HP DLA for you here (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/bb/index.php?showtopic=52512&st=0&#entry376613).

EDIT:
@AR8....i previously sent you Veritas DLA, which is newer (Veritas bought DLA from HP). i cannot find it on kazaa lite to post a hash, but if you want the newer DLA, send me an e-mail and i would be glad to send it to you again. B)

It&#39;s possible, as long as you a full erase rather than a "quick" one. I use Prassi PrimoDVD, which came with my PC, but that&#39;s the only thing I use it for, other than it&#39;s Nero 6 all the way&#33; :D

he is saying you would get the space back on a cdrw, but you wouldnt on a cdr, as it isnt possible

Roxio has long had a drag-to-disc component, I forget what it used to be called, now it&#39;s
just "Drag-To-Disc" in EasyCD/DVD Creator 6. And yeah, it has to format the disk in order to
use it in that manner.
I&#39;ve never really used it, so I can&#39;t tell you all the specifics.

Ah. As I was going to say, the format you are referring to is called directCD, and it is an experimental format for CDR&#39;s that enables drag n&#39; drop.

[sparsely]

DirectCD&#33;&#33; That was it&#33;&#33;
couldn&#39;t remember it for sh*t&#33; :huh:

[hThungerGod]

:D :blink: :rolleyes: hahahahahahah check wwww.hp.com
driver => they have one u can use cd-r like floopy disk but remember one thing
DONT DELETE IT.... UR CD-R SPACE GETTING SMALL...BECARE FULLLLLLL
I&#39;M TALK ABOUT OLD MODEL CD-RW..NEW(2002~) DONT KNOW :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

[Spindulik]

DirectCD? That sucked&#33;
You just can&#39;t use a CDR or CDRW like a hard drive. You can use it as a "floppy", but it ain&#39;t worth the time it takes or the efforts. A ZIP drive is more practical in this case.

once a cd-r or cd-rw is formated with the UDF file system, you CAN use it as you use a hard drive. you can add, delete (limited delete options on cd-r), rename, etc. you can also install programs onto a UDF formatted cd-r or cd-rw, just as you can on a hard drive. so i guess that means that you CAN use a cd-r or cd-rw like you use a hard drive. ;)

[AR8]

dg_mortal, I could use that program. I tried PMing you, and I forgot your e-mail address... so I guess this is the best I can do.

[chalkmongoose]

Uggh... I used DirectCD on two perfectly good CDRs as an experiment. It failed. Miserably. The CDrs now make good coasters.

Good Coasters?

Anywho.... I need dg_mortal&#39;s e-mail, coz I NEED that program.
